Nano-sized materials with large aspect ratios are found to be effective as second fillers for the formation of 3D thermally conductive networks in polymer composites. In this study, multi-walled carbon ...

This study analyzed the influence of expanded graphite (EG) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) treated EG on the structure and thermal properties of polypropylene. Large surface areas of graphite were ...

This article investigates the effects of improving thermal conductivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) /expanded graphite (EG) composites using the ball milling method. PVDF is widely used in the field of ...

Using phase change materials (PCMs) for passive cooling is an effective thermal management technique as they absorb and release large amount of latent heat. However, PCMs have low thermal conductivity ...

The goal of this work was to produce a new high performance PCM, using a combination of RT 100 (paraffinic hydrocarbons) with expanded graphite (EG). The resulting composite performed extremely well ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) are becoming increasingly important in the field of thermal energy storage. In this study, conductive fillers were added to wax- and polyethylene-based PCMs to improve their ...

Through the addition of expanded graphite (EG) to polyethylene glycol, the authors were able to enhance the thermal conductivity of the phase change material (PCM). The transient plane source (TPS) ...
